``I think we will see that in the future, I think it's inevitable,''

It's only inevitable if we let them come here and pussy foot with those already here.

[Principled]

It WOULDN'T happen if we would stand up to them where they already are! We're allowing them to progress their cause via homicide bombings, so OF COURSE they'll keep it up.

Dang it. Sorry
Dang it. Sorry.

[Revolting cat!]

Looks like they're trying to cover all bases so that they can later say "we tole ya so!" CYA mode, nothing more to it.

Cheney said Sunday he sees ``a real possibility'' that walk-in suicide bombers may hit the United States if those who have attacked Israel succeed in changing the situation in the Middle East.

George!! Colin!! You listenin' here ??

>Mueller said the degree of fanaticism an informant must exhibit to get into the inner circle of a terrorist group makes it difficult for law enforcement agencies to penetrate such organizations and prevent such attacks.

Again more muddled thinking. Don't infiltrate them. Deport them! Drain the swamp instead of swatting at mosquitos.

[Dialup Llama]

>But he said the difficulty of getting informants inside terrorist groups targeting the United States makes it much harder to obtain advance information.

A pasty white high school kid who didn't speak arabic or have any islamic background accomplished what your agents cannot. Learn from this.

``I think we will see that in the future, I think it's inevitable,''

So are mass deportations and internment camps.

I think there's a little more to it. The FBI is merely stating the obvious.

The 9/11 hijackers were suicide bombers. Richard Reid was a suicide bomber. It's certainly not a stretch to suggest that more will follow.

That's not to say that we're likely to see a suicide bomber blow himself up in a K-Mart, but I could see someone hijacking a CNG tanker and crashing it into a facility, or a suicide carrier of a bio-weapon attempting to infect as many people as possible.

How did 8 years of Clinton's administration produce this problem for the USA? When Bush the elder was in office he put together a coalition of Arab states for friendly support. Since then our relations are in free-fall. In post WW II the question in Washington was 'who lost China'? Time to ask 'who lost Arab Steet'?

[Rebelbase]

Unfourtunatly it will take a few human Claymores walking into Sunday morning services at Mom and Pop's First Church of Everyone before the public warms to the idea of deportation, IMO.

Is it time for profiling and mass deportations yet? How many have to die first?

[tenderstone jr.]

It was our government that agitated these people in the first place.
It was our government that let them come here.
It was our government that ignored all warning signs of 9/11.
And now it's our government that tells us some more of us will die.

I don't think we can continue to support this current form of government, the way things are being run. While Mueller says there's nothing he can do, I wonder how many leads the FBI has gotten today that they will choose to ignore. The person who carries out the next suicide attack in America will not be unknown to the FBI. Most of the potential suicide bombers in databases and are are even on wanted lists, and the FBI just doesn't care to track them down.

But that's not how it will happen. We have to connect the right dots and be careful. The explosive belt- style bomber was developed in Israel because the sight of someone infiltrating Israel carrying a gun would attract attention.

So what will they do? Look at the attack on the Parliment bldg. in India. Look at the ending of the movie The Matrix. Terrorist get their ideas from movies. The suicide attack will be a squad of 6 terrorists armed with military style weapons. It will occur in a city where people are guaranteed to be unarmed.

[swarthyguy]

And following the MO of recent attacks in Israel and India, they will be dressed in US army or National Guard uniforms.

[Freebird Forever]

It will occur in a city where people are guaranteed to be unarmed.

Just another in a long list of reasons for me to thank God that I live in Texas.

[Noumenon]

Is it time for profiling and mass deportations yet?

Way past time

How many have to die first?

A whole bunch of people. Tragic, that it'll take that sort of thing to bring people to their senses.
